“…Jacob then proposed state transition diagrams for direct manipulation interfaces [18]. They were followed by Petri Nets and extensions [53][24] [34], then temporal logic and LOTOS [38], the Z formalism [14], the Lustre language [7] and recently the B method [2]. Here, we present several of these approaches.…”

“…Approach proposed by D'ausbourg, Durrieu and Roche [7]: The purpose here is to describe the interactive behaviour of a system by building its abstract formal model and to verify automatically that this behaviour processes the required properties. They propose deriving a formal model, using the Lustre language, from the description of the intended interface as it was informally designed.…”

this paper proposes an approach for the specification of human-machine dialogue for interactive process control applications. This approach is based on a formal modelling of the Human-Machine System behaviour. This modelling makes it possible to deduce the user requirements and then to identify the User Interface (UI) objects. The formal aspect allows the validation of the specifications before going on to the generation of the interface. A formalism using Interpreted Petri Nets is proposed for modelling the Human-Machine dialogue.

“…The tool dedicated to generating the formal representation of the user interface system uses techniques that are more largely explained in [4]. In its actual version, this tools is coupled with the UIM/X interface generator: it accepts the UIL [18] and C texts generated by UIM/X as input data.…”

33 05 62 25 26 48 ausbourg,seguin,durrieu,ABSTRACT This paper describes the prototype of a software environment that was devised for helping the formal validation of user interfaces systems. The paper suggests an approach to include such formal operations in the design process. An abstract and formal representation of the user interface system is produced to perform formal verifications on it.The paper explains why the user interface system can be modelled properly by a dataflow system and how this model can be expressed by using equations of flows in the language Lustre. It describes then some main tools of the environment KEY WORDSHuman Computer Interaction, Formal models of interactive systems, Verification, Test

“…More recently, some work and studies tried to build such formal models of the system behavior by analyzing the source code of programs that encodes this behavior. More precisely, for example, some approaches intend to analyze the source code, statically or dynamically according to the intended objective (formal validation or test) [5,10,11,16]. Namely, Silva and al. propose some models for the reverse engineering of Java/Swing applications.…”

User Interface (UI) systems are increasingly complex and nowadays assist critical activities. The development of UIs needs empowered validation methodologies in order to ensure the correctness of the developed UI-based applications. This paper investigates the applicability of reverse engineering and formal approaches to the validation of UIs correctness. The approach is the following. An user interface's abstract model is derived starting from its Java/Swing source code. This formal execution model is then used to prove that the developed interactive system is in accordance with usability requirements expressed in CTT tasks models.
